While the Press and Banner believes the
question Of education to be OF the highest i'm

relieving parents of their personal obligation
10 educate their own children.
But cause which cannot bear discussion
should not commend itself to public favor.
For this reason we are glad that Colonel Rice
is coming to Abbevlle. He may throw new
light on the subject, and by discussion the
people will arrive at the most intelligent
conclusions.
We take 1t for granted that Colonel Rice will
recall his appointment for Abbevlle, and
give us hearing at another time. when there
will be no conflict

PrincipIeS. Not EscrSO *.

In our fight for moral right over legal wrong
we have no respect TO persons high or low,
rich or poor. saint or sinner. The man
espousing either side must take the conse-
quences. He who is opposed to prohibition
must be in favor Of license. Then he should
not vince when he finds himself claSScd with
the company he selects by virtue of his per.
sonal choice. every hummer, rowdy, tough.

tion. That of itself should be enough to
arouse the attention and govern the choice of
every decent moral man.-len,perance Worker.
Our friend is mistaken In supposing that all
lovers of whiskey are anti-prohibttonistS
Some Of the most active workers for prohibi-
tion In the past have been men who have had
n weakness for whisKey. When such men ask
TO be relieved from temptation they more often
excite sympathy than the wholesale con-
tempt which our good brother seems willing
to express for them. Our Saviour, when on
EARTH did not denounce the honest sinner, but
he said some scathing things OF those who
were better than other men, who said their
prayers on the corners, and gave their aims
that they might be seen of men. The brother
who is In the tolls needs our help, not our
condemnation.

The Schedule.

A petition TO the railroad authorities, was
presented to our people for signature last
week, asking for a better schedule on the
:he c. & &. from Abberllle to Hodges, and
we presume no people ever signed petition
more gladly. The running OF the trains from,
and 10 Abbcvillc are arranged to accommo-
date us little as it would be possible to arrange
them. The petitinn asks for two trains day
between Abbevllc and Hodges. and with an
amendment, which shall make it unneccssa
ry TO wait Is minutes at Hodges r.the Green
"il!e train, and which will prevent the wait
ing of our train for twenty minutes after the
departure Of The up-train In the afternoon.
If the authorities would devote their whole
energy to disoblige this people they could not
devise plan which would be less accommo'
dating to the public-unlcss they stopped the
trains altogether.

and the discussions were interesting, showing

well delivered, free Of grammatical errors. The

entertain those feelings.

Preachers Wonderful Success.

At its last meeting, the Preshytery of South
Carolina directed the Rev. S. l.. Morris to
preach on the fifth Sunday Of the month at
Nipety.Six. The people of Ninety-Six for
many years had devoted that day for union
meeting of all the christian denominations IN
the town. For this reason Mr.. Leslie ser
vices were not needed. In consequence, he
was asked to preach at Chappels. After con-
ducting a religious meeting for several days
he was encouraged to make an effort TO organ
ize church, and so announced, inviting per-
sons favoring the organization TO remain al
ter cervice. Twenty-nine expressed their de'
sire to organize q church. Since then ten
other persons have significd their intention 10
Join the new church-makinga total OF thlr-
ty-ninc for one weeks work. y new school
house will no doubt be built at the church,
and Mr.. Morriss visit to Chappells will be re-
membered rs an important event in the his
tory Of the town.
We want those who may be extremely an
xious about sending missionaries to foreign
lands to note this success at our doors ii
there had not been great lack of preaching
at Chappells, 1t would not have been within
the power OF human agency to effect so
much. The expenditure OF O million dollars,
and the labors of life time in China would
not have accomplished rs much as Mr.. Nor
rls did at Chappells in n week. Let christians
occupy this land. If We can supply the gos.
pei to our own people, and convert the mil
lion of foreigners who come to our shores an
nually, we will have done much for the cause
Of christianity.
With all tho foreign element pouring into
this country, composed Of all classes and con-
dtions of men, holding every shade of reli-
eious belief. are we not in danger Of losing the
ground which We now hold?
With millions of unbelievers in our own
land and with unnumerable hosts on their
way to this country it would seem that our
first duty Is to ourselves. TO hold fast 10 the
faith.

The quarrel between the editorial brethren
ut Iaurens Is to be greatly regretted. For
many weeks each paper h had much 10 say
OF Its rival, and something to say for itself
Let the President o! the State Press Associa-
tIon interpose, and bring the matter to an
end. Both editors stand well before the pub
lie, and as each is deserving of the highest re-
spect the reputation OF neither will be effect
ed, except by their own act. Competitors in
any other line of busines seem to get along
better than rival editors, but 1t is to be hoped
that they may yet learn that no man has ever
yet advanced his interests by quarreing with
his competitor. That course has been tried 4
thousand times-and always with the same
result. The public care nothing for our per-
sonal jealousies.

Death Of a Covenanter-.-But Not the
Last.
The UTnnsboro News and Herald says:

The Ufnnsboro Nc,US and Herald says:
"Mrs. Nancy Madden died suddenly on last
Monday Mt O'clock. She was S6 years old nj
the time of her death, and for years has been
confined to the house She was Miss Cath
cart and came over to this country from Ire.
land about the year 1920 She was sister OF
the late Robert Cathcart. who, with David
Aiken, did most in building up WinnShoro.
She married the Rev. Campbell Madden In
1892 and was the mother of our townSman,
Dr. r. B. Madden. and Mrs. John Fl. Cathcart.
She was probably the last of the Covenanters
in this Stntc. Her remains were inferred In
the \. II. p. church-yard on Tuesday evening:
We. i'm common with the community, extend
our heartfelt sympathles to the family in their
bereavement"
Mrs Clatworthy, a hale. hearty old lady in
this county, is a real live old Corenanter,
whose whole life has adorned the profession
of the Covenanters. She came from Scotland
in 1922, and a better woman, or more consist
